Why can't the County keep development where it already is?
Wellington Hills Park is already a park. Why does the County need to spend hard earned tax payer dollars to tear-up Wellington Hills Park so that they can construct a large scale sports complex?
Once again, here's the County's "Master Plan"
• 7 sports fields with 4 of those covered with artificial turf and surrounded with field lights.
• Paved parking for 700+ cars. That's about the same number of parking slots as at Costco.
• A commercially operated Mountain Bike Facility that's 60,000 sq. feet in size (100 ft. x 60 ft.).
• It's estimated by the County, 90% of the Sports Complex traffic will enter from Route 9 at 240th (across from Costco).
• This IS a cut and fill project. The current hill and dale topology will be dug out and flattened.
• The "Community Activity Center" is vaguely described but it probably will have toilets (sewer line?) and office spaces for various commercial sports organizations.
• Most of the open space on the north side of 240th is for off-leash dogs.
(I like dogs, we have a dog, but these open pee zones are well known for spreading dog diseases hence our dog will never visit this proposed off-leash area.)
••• All in all, their Master Plan is akin to having a huge White Elephant suddenly at your door demanding you knock-down walls in your house and feed it lots of peanuts and let it sleep on Fido or Fluffy's tiny bed.
